Sheriff Terry Wagner said he is concerned about seeing marijuana packaged this way.

“Candy cigarettes came under fire for making it attractive for children. I would suspect this will be the same kind of outrage. Hopefully the same kind of outrage of marijuana made to look like or made into candy,” Wagner said.

According the Cheeba Chews’ website, its product has been legally produced in Colorado since 2009 for medical purposes.

The owner of the Cheeba Chews responded to KETV NewsWatch 7 in an email saying, “We do not target young people. There is not one documented sale to a minor from a dispensary in Colorado, not one. Cheeba Chews are not candy. Comparing Cheeba Chews to candy is like comparing NyQuil to Kool-Aid.”
